Trying to find the best video production console has been a challenging task in the past. There are a number of requirements that need to be met, from the simple number of video sources, to mixing in the audio in a controllable way, on to adding lower thirds and other graphics, alongside previewing outputs before sending them to a live stream. We’ve all seen broadcasts where technical hitches break the flow and that’s something I’m keen to avoid, especially when I’m trying to deliver content for a video or visual effects based audience.
I’ve had good results from devices like Blackmagic Design’s Atem Mini Pro switcher and its siblings but I was keen to see if the Rodecaster Video could become an all-in-one solution.
